similar to my reasoning for the norco purchase...I'd buy the Norco purely for brand image. Specialized are specialized and canyon are for nerds. Norco is the least pretentious and gets fantastic reviews.
Norco Range should have a 170mm fork (fox 36), rear 160mm.Canyon runs 160mm fork, the Norco 150mm
It's a hard decision to make for sure, especially when you're blowing $4k
Another way to look at it, parts can be replaced if you're not happy.
Ah sht my bad, I thought you were after a Sight lol.Norco Range should have a 170mm fork (fox 36), rear 160mm.
Which in theory should be slightly better than the Pike on the Canyon.
What seems crappy to me on the Norco is the wheelset with Alex Rims (found nothing on the web) and their sram MTH 746 hubs Vs canyons DT swiss E1700.
Also I spent some time reading the bad reviews on the Canyon's warranty. I read about people waiting 5 months for a replacement bike..
Is there a huge difference between Norco's Fox Performance Float 3 pos LV EVOL and RockShox Monarch Plus R Debon Air?
cheers you are all very helpful!
in my experience, low end fox shocks are woeful. the only downside to that monarch is the lack of a climb switch, which on a big travel bike could be an issue.Norco Range should have a 170mm fork (fox 36), rear 160mm.

So the Norco shock is terrible?in my experience, low end fox shocks are woeful. the only downside to that monarch is the lack of a climb switch, which on a big travel bike could be an issue.

What about rear shock?My testing of the 2016 Range A7.1 had me convinced that I would buy one if I didn't already have my carbon 2015 Range 7.3
